So this is my review update. I would generally change my previous rating to 3.5 or 4, but since I can't, I'll just submit a 5 and it will average out. A few things have happened since that review...

1) I called Highgear, they said the issue with the log that kept reading far less than it was supposed to at the end of the day was a programming error that had been fixed. They exchanged my watch for free.

2) The new one they gave me didn't have the problem with locking out any more.

3) After about 8 months it had a piece of rubber on the side of it separate from the body. Another call to Highgear and they replaced that one too.

In summary, the current version of the watch works fantastically. But given the fact that I've had to return it twice I have concerns about quality of product. But MANY kudos to Highgear for standing behind their products. Highgear is clearly a company to be trusted.
